Thank you very much. As you mentioned, until we do not have the
/dev/iommu integration this is maintained for testing purpose. The SMMU
changes shouldn't be much impacted though.
The added value of this respin was to propose an MSI binding solution
based on RMRRs which simplify things at kernel level.

Thanks!

Eric
